I’m still a few weeks behind on blog updates, but I am trying to catch up. The days before Christmas and Christmas day were pretty quiet. With traveling to Arizona for Thanksgiving and California for the wedding, we decided to make the Christmas tree easy and we put up the artificial tree. I put up the tree before the wedding, but we did not get the lights and ornaments on until Sarah and Joseph got home a week before Christmas. Here are Sarah and Mom in front of the tree.
This is my new ornament that has Gayla Peevey singing “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” from her 1953 recording.
Sarah flew to Pennsylvania on December 24th, so we had the traditional omelets that morning before Sarah left. I did not have any photos of Omelets, but they looked like our traditional omelets.
On Christmas morning it was just Joseph and Mom and me.
Our stockings were not used to all of the space around them. They are used to being crowded together.
Joseph got creative on the name tags. It was pretty obvious who the presents were for.
We had lots of wonderful presents and we appreciate all of the gifts we received.
After presents we had Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. These were the last of the strawberries from the garden. This is me making waffles.
They were really good. Here is Mom with her waffle.
Yes, she still likes whipped cream.
The next blog entry will have photos of the after Christmas festivities while Neil, Ashley and the kids were here.

I'm sad we weren't there. Those stockings do look lonely. I love our family's waffles.
Joseph cracks me up with those huge name tags! The waffles look delicious, and mom looks so fancy with her scarf.
I wish I could have been there for Christmas too! I love our family traditions.
